If it does behave the same, it's possible that the option parser sometimes stops parsing when it sees an argument not starting with '-'. Without looking at the code, I wouldn't know why this happens only sometimes.

Yes I have tried -j4. The behavior is exactly the same.

However, that part of the discussion was an aside and my real concern is that I was actually giving an argument to -j which was ignored. It is not always ignored but in 10 builds it was ignored 5 times. When "-j 4" is the first argument on the command line it never happens. When it appears after a variable assignment it happens occasionally. Any ideas?
Sounds like a bug on GNU makes' command line parser, have you tried always passing the option as "-j4" instead of "-j 4" ?
